Removes prohibition on cities with populations over one million from strengthening rent regulation laws.
New York Assembly Bill A01498 amends the local emergency housing rent control act to allow cities with populations over one million to adopt or amend local laws or ordinances for the regulation and control of residential rents and evictions. This change removes the previous prohibition on such cities from strengthening rent regulation laws to provide more comprehensive coverage than state laws. The bill also includes provisions for determining primary residency and the regulation of housing accommodations that are not occupied by the tenant in possession as their primary residence.
